Artistic Happenings

Last night I finally had an idea for what to do with this board.  It was 11:30, but I had to go with the idea right away.  I drew out the sketch and started creating.  I hung this in my little girls room and she loves it!  The mother owl was going to have open eyes, but she looked so cute with her eyes closed I decided to leave them the way they were.

hello kitty cake

This is the cake I made for my daughter.  It was so simple and that is what I needed.  The jelly beans worked well for this cake.  Does everyone know that when you dip your knife in a little bit of water, after frosting the cake, it smooths the frosting a lot?  Maybe you already knew that.

Preparation

This owl mask will be a gift for one of my children at Christmas.  I am trying to prepare early.  I still have a fox and cat mask to cut out.  Also, this other owl appeared when my bread sank the other day.  It reminded me of the saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade".  For me it was when your bread sinks in the middle, tell your kids it's an animal.  They loved it!

Birthday flower

I want to just pop in and show you this gift I gave Deneigh for her birthday.  I am so pleased she liked it.

Peaches

   Here is what I have been up to.  Bottling Peaches and drawing.  I will admit that I peeled all of the peaches by hand this time.  I know I am insane.  I think anyone who knows me well has excepted that already.  

   Today I got out my pencils and began this drawing.  It is one inspired by a painting done by the Black Apple.  Enjoy your day!
